Alex Reid has Katie ‘connection’

Alex Reid tells Katie Price he loves her "50 million times a day".

The cage fighter has spoken of his "amazing chemistry" with the glamour model – who split from husband Peter Andre, with who she raises three children, earlier this year – insisting he fell in love with her the first time they met.

The 34-year-old actor told New! magazine: “I want to be around her all the time. We have an amazing connection. It’s something I can’t describe in words. We spend an hour just looking at each other in the eyes – it’s mad. Just staring at each other without talking or saying anything.

"I have told her I love her pretty much every day since we met. And about 50 million times a day. I’ve never felt like this. And I’ve never felt more comfortable and ready for this relationship.

"We both fancy the pants off each other, which is great, and we’re both really into each other. And she wants to grow. I’ve sort of surrendered myself to her, by showing her everything about me, and she accepts me."

Alex also hinted he and Katie – also known as Jordan – are planning to wed when her divorce from Peter in finalised.

He explained: "We want to grow together. I’m living every moment and enjoy what’s going on right now, and who knows what the future holds? I mean, we really get on. Amazing. Who knows?

"The way we’re going, the world’s our oyster. I hope we do have a future! I don’t want to add any fuel to the fire by saying we are getting married, but I’m enjoying every minute. I hope we have a good, long future together."
